A Weekend Re-capped
HELLOOOOO!!!
I've been needing to blog for so long...
Work has been trying, it's not that bad actually, it's just that I hate not being in control of a situation. And being kinda 'not so enlightened' and new to what I do is beginning to get to me.
Whats work like?
Well, I start at 8.30am....till about 7. Highlight of the mornings are lunch breaks, and highlight of the after-noons are check out times. That's not natural for someone who's just started work, and had 2 days of MC in between at that! It's not that bad la, actually, just that I have a presentation at the end of this month for the vendors of a new BIG client....that's what's worrying me. But nevermind, I'm sure I'll charm the socks off them!
Maya told me about this bookstore at Times-waste-of-space-Square called Borders. They have a Starbucks in the bookstore itself and you could bring anything you wanted into the coffee house, sit there the whole day (buy some coffee,please! even the 'i'm only a student' excuse wont work here) and read, read, read!
So Saturday found us at Borders. We didn't drive, we took the KTM and the monorail instead. I got on the train at Klang, and she was waiting to get on the same train at Shah Alam. I gave her a missed call when the train was nearing her station, and she jumped on obediently. The thing was, we were at both ends of the train, heading to KL Central. The strong mama in me couldn't force the doors that link the separate coaches internally, so guess what I did?
Jumped off the train at every stop and ran into the next coach, and the next, and the next, till I reached her end..by which we were only 2 stops away from KL Central.
At Borders, we slumped into Starbucks' soft leather couches and were soon transported into our authors' worlds.
Maya handed me 'He's Just Not That Into You' by Greg and Liz, authors of Sex And The City.."I've dealt with my demons, now its your turn," she said.
Insightful, that was what the book was! I learnt quite a bit though I only completed ONE chapter. Liz said everything I would have said, and Greg...well Greg was a faceless Dr Phil. But a lot nicer.
Here are some of what I was taught about the male species.
1. They'd rather lose an arm out of a city bus than to tell you that they're not into you.
2. Men would like women to believe that they're complex beings, when in actual fact, they're not. What you see is what you get!
3. If a guy is into you, he would never turn down the 'Wanna come up?' offer. Not even if he were the Prime Minister and had to be in the office at 4am the next morning!
4.Something is seriously wrong once you start making excuses for a guy. Or start trying to figure him out. If a (sane guy) likes you, you'd know. And if he's not sane, why would you wanna be with him anyway?
5.You would know if a dude digs you. He'll let it be known. Even the most expressionless ones.
6.When it comes to relationships, men are supposed to do the work while we women sit on the sidelines.Men want it that way.
I've summed up chapter one! Get your hands on that book if you can. Visit Borders, coz paying RM42.90 for it is not cool.
Later we caught American Chai at the International Screens, Mid Valley. Wasn't bad at all, I saw a bit of my family on big screen.He he.
I meet my Uni mates (actually, all of them were my seniors, except for Yvonne) on Sunday, and watched The Interpreter. Jon introduced me to the Molten Chocolate Cake at Chili's...Orgasmic!
It was good to see Justin, Jon, Yvonne after so long again. Trust Justin to make me hold my sides in fits of laughter. We met Shaz and his sister and mom at 1-Utama.
The plan is to MAKE SURE we meet up at least once a month. The next meeting will be in Klang (natural choice!) over Bah Kut Teh and Seafood ( I know...we're just asking for system complications!) in July. Justin was appointed the organiser, though there were much groans about his reliability. Everyone's happy with their work and lives, and I felt this weird sense of pride. Aaahh...I can't explain it, so I shan't bother.
I had a real good weekend, despite the disappointments that came in the way during the week.
